What is the "Optimal" Virtual Reality Experience/Future
I've been dancing around this question a bit in my VR musings and at this point, I think just plain old getting a discussion on the matter would be of some value. To start, I posit the question: "How ...
Right now the process of development is to simply solve a VR problem, and see what new problems arise. An example would be the first time we all put on our rifts, looked down, and had a minor shock when we didnt see our hands/bodies. Then STEM came around, but with its own issues. Ad infinitum.
Keep in mind, it also took years of development to make the rift, and decades of tech to surpasses the gigantic silly amusement park headsets. If you told me in the 80s that you suspect VR will be possible in the late 2000s because the successor to the satellite phone will drive the markets towards the appropriate technology, I would consider your ideas far fetched.
So what Im getting at is how it will work depends on the unique problems we discover as we go, and what technologies will be available in the future, and both of those are giant unknowns.
What we want out of VR, however, is simple. We want to strap into our VR devices, walk into a world indistinguishable from reality, and bang hot alien chicks.
